At this time, it is not so convenient to change the extension.

Even some operations can't be done with keyboards and shortcuts! For example, in general, when we double-click a file in the Explorer, it will automatically call its associated program to open, and we sometimes want to use a third-party program to open a file temporarily, just drag and drop the corresponding file to the main It can be done on the program. I want to use WPS2000 to open a TXT file.
